We have 4 basic styles. Stainless steel, Nickle plated steel (aka NPS), Compressors (Nickel Iron alloy aka 'Niron', outer layer is 'compressed' before winding) and Slick Rounds (Nickel Iron alloy aka 'Niron', outer layer is 'ground' before winding).
Stainless is brighter than Nickel in the higher frequencies but Nickel has more mids. The other two are the same metal but made differently. I would rate the brightness in the order listed.
